An excellent point! I've never thought of it this way. The accelerated ending of Spread Your Wings is my favourite part of the '77 session as well as the New York 12-1-77 bootleg. Too bad they stopped performing the song this way by '78.

I just love Fred's piano at the end of the BBC SYW... great stuff!

I just came into posession of nearly all of the bbc sessions, and I have to say that the ending of Spread Your Wings is by far my favouirite part! It sounds amazing. The only track I'm missing now is March of the black queen. Any help as to where to get hold of it would be greatly appreciated!

-John, why do you post some link to a collection series that you'll obviously never complete? (Just had to ask). Not that you'll even answer my question, but hey, a lot of people here want to see those articles finished as well- -PS. Fuck off with the "Bum's" parody of my nickname-

I will e-mail Greg Brooks later today about the matter of the MOTBQ BBC take. He DOES have access to the tapes himself, so he may give me an answer.

EDIT: Just e-mailed him. Now I'm waiting for a reply, hopefully within two day's time
